A80j dts x pass through?

Hi there I just bought a Sony 65” A80J and am using EARC pass through. I have made all the relevant adjustment in both the sound menus and hdmi menus and have connected both a PS5 and a UHD Blu-ray player to the TV yet I can not get DTS-X to pass through to my samusung q950t soundbar. I can get DTS-X to play if I connect them directly to the soundbar so know that the settings are correct in both the Blu-ray player and ps5 but can not get it to work via EARC pass through on the tv. Is DTS-X not supported or am I missing something? Thanks for your help.

Sometimes issues like this are resolved just by restarting, hold down Power / OFF on the Remote Control.

Hey there,

 

I'd say also make sure that the TV is running the latest software: https://bit.ly/3EUgEtb.
And reset the TV if it's the same: https://bit.ly/3HdgYVu.

 

Cheers.
